Alyson Schafer

It’s often said that children don’t come with instructions. Thankfully, for times when parents really wish they did, there’s Alyson Schafer. An experienced family counsellor and bestselling author of international renown, Schafer is the number one parenting expert in her native Canada. Among her highly-regarded books are Breaking the Good Mom Myth, Honey, I Wrecked the Kids, and Ain’t Misbehavin’, all of which have sold worldwide and been translated into numerous languages. Her words of wisdom have also appeared in prestigious publications such as Cosmopolitan, The Washington Post, Reader’s Digest and, of course, Parent Magazine. She is also resident columnist for Huffpost Parents Canada.

Schafer’s approach to the trials of parenting has been a breath of fresh air to tired and tested parents everywhere. Her work is based on the premise that the challenges of modern life require a modern approach to parenting, as opposed to more traditional methods. Her focus is also very much on practical, actionable advice based on her years of research and first-hand experience.

A public speaker with a wealth of experience, Schafer is a member of the National Speakers Association, itself the oldest member of the distinguished Global Speakers Foundation. She has delivered positive, forward-thinking talks to some of the world’s most recognisable brand names, including Facebook, Huggies, Kelloggs, and the Bank of Montreal. A fixture of TV where parenting advice is concerned, Schafer is also the face of The Parenting Show for Canadian network Rogers TV. The show ran for eight seasons and, after a decade away, has returned for its ninth.
